Landscape & Lawn Care Industry Recruiting

Management, professional, and sales candidates from the lawn, landscape, and tree care industry. We run the search on contingency, so you pay only when the position is filled.

Why it matters

Build your dream team

Labor is the number one problem in this industry, and owners burn weeks of their own time searching. Talent plays a pivotal role in whether a company succeeds.

TrueWinds specializes solely in lawn care, landscape, and tree care. That focus brings a deep understanding of your hiring needs, the roles you’re filling, and the skills those roles require.

We start by understanding your company’s culture, values, and hiring needs. Then a rigorous screening process makes sure only the most suitable candidates reach you.

How the search works

From open seat to the right hire

  1. Partner

    We learn your company

    We partner with you to understand your company’s unique culture, values, and hiring needs before the search begins.

  2. Search

    We work the network

    A database of management, professional, and sales candidates in the industry, plus people who aren’t actively looking but would move for the right role.

  3. Screen

    You meet the finalists

    Candidates are assessed and interviewed before you see them. You spend your time only on people who fit your criteria.

  4. Hire

    You pay on placement

    Our contingency model means the fee is due only when we successfully fill the position. If no one is hired, nothing is charged.

Why use a search firm

What an industry specialist recruiter does that a job post can’t

  • Faster hiring

    An existing talent pool and a network of connections shorten your time to hire, because the search doesn’t start from zero.

  • Candidates already vetted

    You meet candidates who are pre-screened, referenced, and already interviewed, by recruiters who deal with candidates daily and are experts at interviewing.

  • Someone who has done the job

    Kelly has worked in sales her whole career, in mortgages and in this industry. She knows the personality and the drive a good salesperson has, and she can tell when a candidate is faking it.

  • People who aren’t looking

    Not all the best candidates are actively looking. An industry specialist recruiter knows who they are, how to reach them, and what would make them consider a move.

  • A read on the market

    Knowledge of salary rates, available skill sets, career expectations, current hiring complexities, and market trends.

  • Paid only on results

    Most of a recruiter’s work happens before any fee is earned. That keeps the focus on candidates who genuinely want your job.

Recruiting · Client Care

25 years in the green industry, on top of a career leading sales and client relationships in the mortgage industry. Kelly runs the recruiting practice: finding the managers and sales talent this industry is short of.

She is looking for a fit that lasts, not a candidate chasing a raise. Every search is handled confidentially, with respect for your organization and your hiring process, and clients are looked after long past the placement.

“Getting a new job is a lot like buying a new house. You don’t do it every day, and when you do, you want to be sure it fits. Anyone can go to another job and make more money. I want you to go there and love it.”

Questions about recruiting

How much does a search cost?

We work on contingency. You pay only when we successfully fill the position, and if no candidate is hired, no fees are charged.

What roles do you recruit for?

Management, professional, and sales positions in lawn care, landscape, and tree care companies.

Do you recruit outside the green industry?

No. We specialize solely in the lawn, landscape, and tree care sector, which is why we understand the roles and where to find the people for them.

Is a search firm faster than hiring on our own?

We aim to fill your vacancy with qualified candidates as quickly and efficiently as possible. A search firm with an existing talent pool and network of connections can find candidates much faster than a company searching on its own.

Can you reach people who aren’t job hunting?

Yes. Not all the best candidates are actively looking. They take a little longer to find, but our recruiters know who they are, how to reach them, and what would encourage them to make a move.

Is the search confidential?

Yes. Our services respect the confidentiality of your organization and of the hiring process throughout.
